Creating Chapters in Mediasite

 

Chapters are markers within a Mediasite video to indicate chapters/sections or to note important video content. Inserting chapters is an effective way to “chunk” content with longer videos. If using chapters to “chunk” the content, provide an index to students below the video on the Canvas page. For questions or additional assistance, contact canvas@unthsc.edu.

  • Navigate to the desired video in MyMediasite>click Edit Video. This opens the video editor in the web browser.
